First I know it has been quite some time since my last post but as a many know I am a military spouse as well as former military member and I have been quite involved with military issues.

Having said that, after watching today's news conference where he went on, gave a shout out and the audience applauded, whistled, while the breaking banner said "dead and injured at Ft Hood" and 2 minutes in he FINALLY addressed the situation at Ft Hood. I watched in shock.

I am at my wit's end this man is contemptable.

Families are waiting to know what they need to plan on for Afghanastan and Obama doesn't care.

Now I read this, and I honestly do not believe there is a sincere bone in our CIC's body, they can say this was planned but all they have talked about was his VISIT to Capital Hill tomorrow (Friday). Would it be wrong for me to think this way?

My prayer's go out to all those at Ft Hood, they are my military family and to all their families all over the world. We have the most amazing military in the entire world.

So the AP wants us to think "Wow, he's even passing up a chance to drone on about healthcare? What a guy!"

I've seen your name many times on interesting threads, so it's good to see you posting again.

I can’t see him being double booked. So I think this is another lie. He has changed his plans due to the Ft. Hood incident.

No, you aren’t wrong. He is the most disgusting piece of work I can ever remember seeing in ANY position of power in this country. Even bill clinton would not have been this despicably obvious.
I don’t think he will be received well at WR, especially after today. But you will never hear it.

The WH know there is video of Obama being a Big Callous Jerk and now they are doing damage control. And they are doing it in the smallest way possible because their voter base hates our military.

There are so many others who would be a true joy for these brave folks to have visit them. This potus is so loathsome that I would really rather he pass and go play golf or something...

I hear he’s staying up all night practicing his salutes.

FYI. The Narcissist-in-chief is going to Walter Reed for a photo op “on Friday afternoon.”

If this happened under Bush’s Presidency and he did NOT rush to Texas, the outcry would be high decibel:

“What is wrong with the President? Why doesn’t he fly immediately to Texas, to comfort the families?”

(Don’t be surprised if he winds up going to Texas soon. It is all about him first; not the families at their time of crisis.)

I watched the YouTube clip and closed the window after a minute. I couldn’t take it - it was heartbreaking.

Prayers for the those killed and injured. Prayers for their families and friends.

Just his way of saying to any more officers that knew Nidal Malik Hasan (mmm mmm mmm), and might be thinking of talking, that he “knows where they live.”

He’s setting us up with this sudden interest in the welfare of the military. He’s planning to cave on Afghanastan, and justify it as being “for the troops”.

I hear that Pelosi will try to push “health care” through the House on Saturday.

It makes sense for him to push for support at the Capitol on Saturday.

He and Pelosi will twist every last arm until they win.

There is nothing sincere about Obama except his culture of hate.

I too am in shock. This should have never happened.

This is the first time he’s been to Walter Reed as CiC? That’s incredible.

I don’t get why they can’t just say that he decided to visit Walter Reed because of the shootings. There’s no dishonor in that, but there is dishonor in lying about the schedule. If he’s smart, he won’t allow a plethora of pictures.

As a boy, he was raised a Muslim in a foreign country.

You can take the boy to America, but you cant take the Anti-American out of the boy.

He thinks we suck and the feeling is mutual. Your instincts are dead on.

A huge thank you to you and yours for your service.

There’s been much discussion in this country about water-boarding Al-Queda prisoners as “torture.” What did any of our injured at Walter Reed ever do to deserve the torture of being visited by a communist, America-hating incompetent? If I was a patient there, I believe that if he approached my bed or chair I would turn my back to him.

What obama would like to say:

“Oh, no! Do I HAVE TO go to that hospital and pretend I am concerned about those military people? I don’t want to be around them. They don’t like me. Can I at least do a shout-out to Oprah and Derek Jeter before I go in?”
